Opponents of the city's limit on the size of sugary drinks are raising questions of racial fairness alongside other complaints as the novel restriction faces a court test.
The NAACP's New York state branch and the Hispanic Federation have joined beverage makers and sellers in trying to stop the rule from taking effect March 12. With a hearing set Wednesday, critics are attacking what they call an inconsistent and undemocratic regulation, while city officials and health experts defend it as a pioneering and proper move to fight obesity.

So limiting the size of sodas is now racist?
Who knew??
LOL this is perfect.

Better ban 40 oz. malt liquor bottles too!
Like poor folks (a/k/a minorities) can afford to buy fancy bottled water, Starbucks lattes, juices, etc.
Hey, I just realized gun control is racist.
So is legalized abortion.
Ha! Health and commerce. Politic’t all to hell.
Better ban it!
Got to give race kudos to the race pimps.
Big Brother says "Your fat is our business. Get down and give me ten!"
Absolutely. Use their own tactics against them. I'm sure that's somewhere in Alinsky's rules.
The government isn’t THAT stupid!
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
They’ll probably wind up making an exception for Sprite. Just sayin’...

If someone really wanted to reduce the overweight factor, we would have a return to more straight-forward options for sugar based drinks rather than the high fructose corn syrup and weird “diet” stuff.
Think back to when they introduced corn derivatives instead of sugar around the 70’s and the before and after of the overall weight of people in this country.
Your body knows what to do with sugar and when you drink or eat too much, your body tells you it’s had enough. With the HFCs and the weird diet stuff, your body doesn’t recognize that stuff as “too much” so people keep eating and drinking.
The biggest factor for overweight people since the seventies is the cessation of smoking as a national pastime. All who stopped smoking had their thyroid functions diminsh and smoking kept weight off people.
The second factor is the diminishment of alcohol as a common libation.
There were plenty of portly and chubby men and women in earlier days, they were older, but they were there.
